Rise above envy

Lyrics

[Intro – Woman 1] Yeah… Funny how they watch you closer When they swear they don’t like you. [Woman 2] Girl, who you tellin, funny how they spin the narrative to fit there perception. [Both] Let ’em talk. We still rise. [Verse 1 – Woman 1] I walked in the room, felt the energy shift, Same ones throwing shade wanna study my fit. Watching every post, every move, every pic, Say they don’t care, but they never miss it. I ain’t fighting for a crown that I already own, I don’t need validation from a username or phone. If my shine makes you nervous, baby, close your eyes, I spent too many nights learning how to rise. They whisper in the chats, put my name in the air, Tryna make me feel small like I’m supposed to care. But jealousy speaks louder than the truth sometimes, And the hate gets heavy when they see you shine. [Pre-Chorus – Woman 2] You Nevah make meh stay so take youre weight of me - above it all because - [Chorus – Both] We rise above the envy, Rise above the hate. They ca Rise above the hate. Every door they tried to close Made another pathway. We don’t break, we don’t fold, We don’t beg them to understand. We know exactly who we are, And exactly where we stand. Let ’em watch, let ’em talk, Let ’em say what they say. They can imitate the picture, But they can’t duplicate the wave. There’s room for every woman, But we won’t apologize for ours. We rise above the jealousy, And keep reaching for the stars. [Final Chorus – Both] We rise above the envy, Rise above the hate. Every door they tried to close Made another pathway. We don’t break, we don’t fold, We don’t beg them to understand. We know exactly who we are, And exactly where we stand. Let ’em watch, let ’em talk, Let ’em say what they say. They can imitate the picture, But they can’t duplicate the wave. There’s room for every woman, But we won’t apologize for ours. We rise above the jealousy— And keep reaching for the stars. [Outro – Woman 1] You don’t have to like me. [Woman 2] But you [Woman 2] But you will respect the way I rise. [Woman 1] And your jealousy..... [Woman 2] Will never become my insecurity. [Woman 1] I won't shrink myself to make you comfortable. [Woman 2] And I won't dim my light just to protect your ego. [Both] We’re not coming down Just because somebody’s uncomfortable Watching us rise. [Woman 1 - Soft] Keep watching. [Woman 2 - Spoken] We're still rising. [Both] And there's room at top for us all.
